Daniel Griggs born Elsenham 1777 - where / when did he marry?
« on: Friday 27 February 15 12:23 GMT (UK) »
Daniel Griggs and his wife Sarah had several children in Elsenham over the period 1804 to 1820. The oldest two were baptised in Elsenham, the others at the independent chapel in Henham.
I am trying to find the marriage of Daniel and Sarah which I guess would have been no later than 1803/4. There are a lot of Griggs marriages in Elsenham including Daniel's parents, but I can't find Daniel's. So I guess Sarah was from another parish and the marriage took place in hers.
Daniel is on his own in 1841 and listed as widower in 1851, so Sarah must have died pre-1841, so no clue to age or place of birth.

Thank you that certainly looks like it. Their first child was baptised about a month later!
